Spring Break!

Today is my official first day of spring break! Hooray! I am off for a whole entire week! I celebrated by waking up at 6:30 am..darn internal alarm clock! It might take a couple of days before my body lets me sleep in! I am a little sad this year about spring break. I am not going anywhere to get away! The husband and I have gone on some wonderful trips these past two years for my spring break.

Two years ago we went to Florence and Venice Italy...so beautiful there!


Tuscany


Me in front of St. Mark's

Last year the husband and I went to Oahu, Hawaii! So amazing and relaxing there!






This year I started my masters classes so it has been very hard to get away. I have so much homework to do this week! Ahhh! I am sure I will find some time to relax a little...let's hope so anyways! What is your favorite spring break memory?

10 minute sketch: Pink Heels

Here is today's 10 minute sketch. It is of one of my favorite spring shoes. These are cute pink heels I got at Banana Republic a couple of years ago and they never seem to go out of style (at least to me they don't!) The only thing is that they are not the most comfortable shoes if you have to be on your feet all day! I did this sketch with a green colored pencil and some watercolors.

I also have some swatches of paper and fabric that I found recently that have really inspired me. Here is a piece of fabric I found in an old box of fabric we have at school. I just love the colors and the flower shapes. I will definitely be using these flower shapes in my artwork sometime soon!


Here is some beautiful paper that I got when I was in Venice about 2 years ago. I bought some jewelry at a boutique there and it came wrapped in this paper. I just love the paisleys and the floral pattern.


What inspires you?
